CAMIGUIN : How to get there?



view from White Island of Camiguin 
Let me tour you to Camiguin, Philippines with my blog. Last April 16 -21 I've been to Camiguin with my friends. We've been planning this trip for few months and I'm glad we made it.

There are two types of transportation you can choose, it is either via Sea or Air. We chose via Sea because it is cheaper but you should have patience bring with you since travelling by Sea takes too much time. But the positive note of a long journey for me is we get to spend quality time together . I'll give you the summary of how we travel and costs but for other options I can't provide any costs(I am sorry) because I know plane ticket prices change every day.

We departed from Cebu at 8pm and arrived to Cagayan 7am, it is almost 12 hrs (watta trip!). From Cagayan de Oro we rode tricycle going to Bus Terminal to port of Balingoan. From Balingoan to port of Benoni in Camiguin.

From Port of Benoni,Camiguin we rode a jeep going to Mambajao.

Going back to Cebu we took the plane, it has been booked a month before the date of our departure so it's less than we expected.

Indeed it is a long journey just to be in a beautiful Island of Camiguin, its worth the trip going there as you get to experience new things.
